I have worked with a few Personal Trainers over the years.† They were all good, but Ben stands out.† His intrigue with what ailed me had him investigating options to help me specifically.† I have a tight hip, on the interior of the joint.† Ben would take time during the week to try the techniques on himself first and then present the ones he thought were applicable to my unique issues. †As with any good program, I need to do more at home.† But, these techniques were on point and revealed the weakness in the specific muscle groups and connective tissue that limited my range of motion.† Ben also assisted me with some Range-of-Motion and PNF stretching (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) at the beginning of the training sessions.† This was most beneficial as it allowed me to move into the exercise/stretching techniques I was doing on my own with the connective tissue already primed and familiar with what I needed to do, and, where they needed to take the leg and hip.† It was most educational.† I have all the tools I need to improve my hip and look forward to the process of releasing the tension within.† Thanks Ben. †

When I began working with Ben Woods at Envision Personal Health, I had recently injured my back and was unable to bend, twist, or lift objects beyond 10 pounds. Ben has been attentive to my health and physical limits, while focusing on building overall core strength and balance. The results have been excellent! Today, I am able to bend to touch the floor without back pain. And, I enjoy working out--a new experience for me! He is an excellent trainer and I highly recommend him to assist anyone who wants to improve their overall fitness.

If youíre considering a personal trainer, definitely give Ben woods a try. Commit to one workout and let him do his job. Heíll show you in that first workout that heís the trainer that will help you. As an aside, I rarely write good reviews like this. I really do feel strongly about Ben as a training professional. Iíve been training with him for about a year. What makes him different? Many trainers talk about personalized workouts and listening, but Ben actually follows through on this.

As a person who works out a lot, I didn't think a personal trainer was something that I needed. But the minute I started working with Ben I felt so much better! Ben is super nice and makes you feel so comfortable while he trains you, and even when you're already in shape he knows how to push you one step further. He knows how to work with you in a way that gives you best results on the parts of your body you want to get more toned. I would definitely come back and will recommend Ben to all of my friends and colleagues.

Envision Personalized Health has enabled me to regain the energy and physical strength that I had lost while dealing with back strain issues and the mental stress of the economic downturn. A program of increased cardio activity, light weight lifting, and stretching on the reformer and total gym have eliminated my back pain and greatly increased my flexibility and my physical stamina. The on-site massage therapists are very knowledgeable and have also helped to increase my flexibility and eliminate the muscle tension and pain. I started training at Envision in July 2009 and the last 11 months of work outs have made a tremendous improvement in my physical and mental health. A sincere thanks to Vickie Nickerson and all the friendly staff at Envision. John Ball

Vickie is not only an expert in her field, she is a master of her profession. Her knowledge, experience and teaching techniques are second to none and 100% effective when it comes to personal training and physical fitness. Her ability to reach beyond the standards of the typical workout and exercise routine are what make her truly unique and special. By connecting with her clients and employing a "mind body" approach she tailors a routine for each individual that works. Vickie provides a special empowerment to her clients to change their minds, their bodies, and their lives. The lessons I learned from Vickie are not only effective, but priceless when it comes to living healthy and vibrant life

I hired Vicky several years ago as my Personal Trainer. I have worked with several over the years and she is by far the best PT that I'v ever worked with. She is so much more than a PT more like a Life Coach. She is there for you, to help you acheive whatever fitness/health related goals you want to achieve. I would, have, and will always recommend her and her business to anyone. Oh and did I mention that she has a full service spa? That is one thing that I think sets her apart from everyone else, she surrounds her self with top knotch people. People that excel in what they do. Pretty much anything you want for your health and fitness needs you can get at Envision Personalized Health

Vickie has been instrumental in vastly improving my overall physical health, strength and stamina while working through a chronic spine condition. Her attention to every detail of my workouts has made everything I do during a workout a positive step forward in my progress and my health in the future. I am honestly in the best shape of my life!

I came here with a very defined set of goals and the team not only understood what I wanted but charted a defined plan to get there. They continue to motivate and support me as I approach my second year with them.
